Abstract: This paper presents the results of the calibration and implementation of the Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG) for the design of flexible pavements in Italy. Local input data for traffic, climate, materials, ...

Abstract: A simulation process is presented for providing a point estimate of average traffic delay on minor roads at urban unsignalized intersections during peak hours. A performing process of microsimulation was carried out, and ...

Abstract: A microsimulation approach is presented for assessing safety at unsignalized intersections using critical traffic conflicts computed in simulation models as a surrogate safety measure. The proposed approach was applied to ...

Abstract: Two specific three-dimensional finite-element models are presented for making an evaluation of the maximum stresses at critical locations in concrete slabs (i.e., at the interior and edge) that is superior to the classic ...

Abstract: A microsimulation approach is presented for evaluating the effectiveness of a transition zone connecting the rural to the urban environment using speeds computed in simulation for showing whether drivers slow down far ...
